MAX300-BIO Bioreactor/Fermentation Mass Spectrometer

Mass Spectrometry is a powerful tool for bioreactor monitoring. Changes to the composition of bioreactor or fermenter off-gas provide crucial insight into cellular health and production efficiency. This makes the fast, accurate analysis of CO2, O2, N2, Ar, H2O and other compounds essential for real-time process control. 

Extrel MAX300-BIO uses cutting edge quadrupole mass spectrometer technology to quantify bioreactor gases from multiple reactors within the facility and reports the data to the control system in real-time. 

Features:

  • Measures CO2, O2, N2, H2O, alcohols, contaminants, and more
  • Samples without risk of contamination
  • Calculates control parameters in real-time (e.g. Respiratory Quotient)
  • Provides flow and mass balance data
  • Multiport sample systems for up to 80+ reactors
  • High precision and accuracy for optimal process automation
  • Low maintenance, utilities and calibration required
  • Complete method scale-up
  • Lab, Pilot, Production

Applications:
